Romi's Rainy Day Remembrance

Brazzers

Romi Rain, Jean Val Jean Pic(s)

The relentless drumming of rain against the windowpane was the only sound in the quiet apartment, a percussive backdrop to Romi’s solitary reminiscing. Her thoughts, unbidden, drifted back to a similarly storm-swept afternoon years ago, a memory as vivid as the lightning now fracturing the grey sky. She pictured Jean Val Jean, his presence as substantial and comforting as an old leather armchair, standing by that other window in a different life. He hadn’t spoken much, his silence not empty but full of a profound, understanding calm. Romi remembered the exact way the diffuse light had softened the lines of his face, making him look both timeless and tragically transient. She could almost feel the coarse texture of his wool sweater as she had leaned against him, finding shelter not from the weather, but from her own inner turmoil. In that shared silence, he had taught her that some griefs are too deep for words, their weight only bearable when shouldered by two. The memory was a bittersweet ache, a preserved moment of perfect understanding now lost to the relentless forward march of time. A soft sigh escaped her lips, fogging the cold glass as the present reality seeped back in. Now, the storm outside felt less like a companion and more like a mirror to the lonely chill settling deep within her bones.
